I've got a little nit to pick, maybe ASID can help.
Recent designs for Drabbleclassics in the forums have made it difficult to spot unread posts. Instead of coming up yellow highlighted until read, I have to check out the dates and times to find out why the 'Read' thread is still yellow after I have read all the posts.
This seems to be the result of combining Classics with Stories and with bumped order list.

For the record, I've always had trouble with the "unread" and "read" icons appearing more or less at their own whim. Sometimes I've had to try two or three times to get a forum to read as "read" from the main page. I've just chalked it up to "software is weird and the Internet is a hodge-podge of conflicting ideosyncratic programs."

I expect the problem with people getting the read/unread to display wrong, is either their computer or the ISP is caching a copy of the page when they shouldn't. It works for me, but I've visited other phpBB forums which do have an issue with unread appearing correctly. If you are unsure, click the refresh button in your browser to request the page again, that can help.

That's mostly what I do, yeah. Click in, then back out, try refreshing a few times. I usually get it eventually, and if not it's generally gone after a reboot. *shrugs* Computers are weird.
